7-8 Connections to Text with Genocide Research by

The Pigtail

When all the women in the transport

had their heads shaved

four workmen with brooms made of birch twigs

swept up

and gathered up the hair

Behind clean glass

the stiff hair lies

of those suffocated in gas chambers

there are pins and side combs

in this hair

The hair is not shot through with light

is not parted by the breeze

is not touched by any hand

or rain or lips

In huge chests

clouds of dry hair

of those suffocated

and a faded plait

a pigtail with a ribbon

pulled at school

by naughty boys.

I can my research of what was done to Gypsies in the Holocaust to this poem. They, like the Jewish community, were mistreated, tortured and killed.

the part where it said "when all the women in the transport had their heads shaved", i relate that to the trail of tears because the Indians were transported to another place without it being there choice.

I can connect the poem to the Cambodian genocide because in the Cambodian genocide the Khmer Rouge killed many of their own so they were being lied to and the Khmer Rouge would tell them something then kill them. In the 3 stanza the Cambodian genocide connects with it because the Nazis would say go take a shower or something then they were put in gas chambers. So each one was set up and lied to and everyone was 2 faced.

Well like in Zimbabwe there was a genocide. It was started by a dictator. His name is Mugabe, he killed people in his country because of there beliefs, decisions, and because they didn't do what he said.
